Full-Property Renovation Cost in Boise
A pricing guide for Boise and Treasure Valley homeowners considering a complete interior and exterior renovation. Every figure here is one of Iron Crest's own published Boise ranges — no market averages, no survey data, no cost-recovery percentages, and no bundling discount.
Quick answer
Iron Crest's published Boise range for a full-property renovation is $100,000 to $400,000 and up, all in — labor, materials, permits and project management. That band is the interior scope and the exterior scope stacked: on our published component ranges, interior work (kitchen $22,000–$145,000, bathroom $12,000–$95,000, flooring $3,500–$32,000, interior paint $1,800–$14,000) plus the exterior envelope (siding $8,500–$32,000, windows $6,500–$28,000, gutters $1,500–$4,000, exterior paint $2,800–$18,000).
Our published Boise band for a full-property renovation is $100,000 to $400,000+. The three packages below describe scope rather than price brackets, and each figure is the arithmetic sum of Iron Crest's published component ranges for the services it contains — nothing discounted into it and nothing rounded off. Which end of a band a given house lands at is decided by cabinet grade, how much plumbing and electrical moves, wall and floor area, and the condition of the existing systems — not by square footage alone.

Each row below gives Iron Crest's published Boise range for that service, not a share of some assumed total. We publish no percentage-of-budget split, because which line dominates depends entirely on your house: three bathrooms and few windows distributes nothing like one bathroom and a heavily glazed elevation. Add the rows that apply to your scope and you have the honest arithmetic.
| Component | Scope | Published Boise Range | Key Drivers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kitchen remodel | Interior | $22,000–$145,000 | Cabinet grade, countertop material, appliances, whether the layout moves |
| Bathroom remodel (each) | Interior | $12,000–$95,000 | Shower build, tile selection, whether plumbing relocates |
| Flooring | Interior | $3,500–$32,000 | Material, total area, subfloor condition |
| Interior painting | Interior | $1,800–$14,000 | Surface area, prep and repair, ceilings, number of colors |
| Siding replacement | Exterior | $8,500–$32,000 | Wall area, storey count, material, removal of old siding |
| Window replacement | Exterior | $6,500–$28,000 | Window count and size, frame material, glass package |
| Gutters (guards $2,000–$5,000 extra) | Exterior | $1,500–$4,000 | Length of run, downspout count, storey count |
| Exterior painting | Exterior | $2,800–$18,000 | Surface area, prep; drops out on factory-finished siding |
We publish no bundling discount percentage anywhere on this site. What is genuinely different about a full-property bundle is that it carries both sets of one-per-project costs, plus two cross-scope advantages that only exist when the walls are open from both sides at once. Each of these is a line on your proposal, so you can see it rather than take it on faith.
Interior Efficiencies
Shared demolition, overlapping trades, bulk tile and flooring orders, and single interior painting scope — the same one-per-project costs set out on the interior renovation bundle page, itemized on your proposal rather than expressed as a percentage.
Exterior Efficiencies
Shared scaffolding, sequential material installation, bulk siding orders, and single exterior painting scope — the same one-per-project costs set out on the exterior renovation bundle page. Scaffolding in particular is charged per erection and dismantling, not per square foot, so putting it up once is the clearest single case.
Cross-Category Savings
Costs unique to a full-property bundle being paid once: one permit application instead of multiple, one project manager for all work, electrical and plumbing trades working across interior and exterior in the same engagement, one dumpster for all debris, and one mobilization and demobilization for the whole project. We publish no percentage against these; they are itemized on your proposal.
Overlapping Insulation
When siding is removed from the exterior, it creates the ideal opportunity to add or upgrade wall insulation — a task that benefits interior comfort and energy efficiency. Insulation added behind new siding avoids the drywall removal, repair and repainting that the same work needs when it is approached from inside — which is the real saving, and the reason this window is worth using when it opens. We publish no dollar figure for it, because it depends on wall area and on what is in the cavity now.
Coordinated Electrical
The electrician who upgrades kitchen circuits and bathroom wiring also installs new exterior lighting, outlet upgrades, and panel improvements in a single engagement. One electrical permit covers all work. One inspection visit covers interior and exterior. The electrician mobilizes once and works across the entire project scope rather than making separate visits for separate projects.
The Comparison You Can Run
There is no worked savings example here, and that is deliberate. It would require knowing what the separate quotes would have been, and nobody holds that data.
The comparison you can actually run: ask us to quote the full property as one fixed-price scope, and to quote the same work as separate projects. Then compare the two documents line by line. That number is yours and it is real.
Full-property renovations in Boise have unique considerations driven by the local housing market, climate, and regulatory environment.
Renovation vs. New Construction
We publish no cost-per-square-foot comparison against new construction, in either direction — we have no sourced figure for the new-construction side, and our own side varies with scope rather than with area. What is structurally true is that a renovation does not pay for the lot, the site work, the foundation, the roof structure or the utility connections, and it does not go through subdivision or a new-build permit path. It also keeps the location, the established landscaping and the mature trees, none of which a new build on a new lot has. Against that, renovation inherits whatever is already in the walls. Which way that nets out is specific to the house.
Seasonal Scheduling Strategy
Full-property renovations that span both interior and exterior work require seasonal planning in Boise. The optimal strategy is to begin interior work in late fall or winter (November through March) when exterior conditions prevent outdoor work. By the time interior demolition, rough-in, and major construction are complete, spring arrives and exterior work can begin — with the caveat that anything demolished inside still has to be closed up before winter, so the sequence is planned backwards from the exterior weather window rather than forwards from the start date. Review our full-property timeline guide for detailed phasing.
Home Age and System Upgrades
Boise homes built before 2000 commonly need system upgrades: service panel capacity, galvanized supply replaced with PEX, HVAC, and wall insulation. We publish no dollar figures for these, because each depends on what is actually there — panel location and service size, how much of the supply run is accessible, duct condition. They are quoted after the in-home assessment, as their own lines. What is worth knowing now is that a full-property renovation is the cheapest moment to do any of them, because the walls are open from both sides at once. Note also that Idaho is on NEC 2023, which requires GFCI protection for all 125–250V kitchen receptacles, not only those serving countertops.
Contingency Budget
Full-property renovations involve the most extensive demolition, and therefore the most discovery, of any project type. Every full-property proposal carries a contingency for unexpected conditions — hidden water damage, structural issues, outdated wiring or plumbing, lead paint in pre-1978 homes (where EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting work practices apply), suspected asbestos (tested before demolition rather than assumed either way), and rot. It is stated as its own line on the proposal so you can see exactly what is set aside rather than having it absorbed into the trade pricing, and unused contingency is not spent. We publish no standard percentage here, because the right figure depends on the age and condition of the specific house.
Common questions about full-property renovation costs in the Boise and Treasure Valley area.
How much does a full-property renovation cost in Boise?
Iron Crest's published Boise range for a full-property renovation is $100,000 to $400,000 and up, all in — labor, materials, permits and project management. That band is the interior scope and the exterior scope stacked: on our published component ranges, interior work (kitchen $22,000–$145,000, bathroom $12,000–$95,000, flooring $3,500–$32,000, interior paint $1,800–$14,000) plus the exterior envelope (siding $8,500–$32,000, windows $6,500–$28,000, gutters $1,500–$4,000, exterior paint $2,800–$18,000). The band is set by scope rather than by square footage: a large home with sound systems and a cosmetic scope lands below a small one that needs rewiring, re-plumbing and a new envelope. We publish no cost per square foot, because we have no data that would make one honest.
How much do you save with a full-property renovation vs. separate projects?
We do not publish a bundling discount percentage. Nobody holds a dataset of the same homeowner buying the same work both ways, so the figure would be constructed rather than measured, and homeowners set real budgets against numbers like that. What we can name exactly is every cost a bundle pays once instead of repeatedly: mobilization and site protection, scaffold erection and dismantling, dumpster rental and haul-off, material ordering and delivery, trade re-mobilization between projects, project management, and the permit application and plan review. Those are lines on your proposal. There is one genuine cross-scope advantage that only exists here: when siding is off, the wall cavity is open from the outside, so insulation and exterior electrical can be addressed without opening drywall from within. What bundling does not do is make the cabinets, the siding or the windows cheaper.
Is a full-property renovation worth it for resale in Boise?
We do not publish a cost-recovery percentage or a value-added figure for any project. That is an appraisal claim, and making it honestly requires resale data on comparable renovated homes — Iron Crest holds no MLS access, commissions no appraisals, and keeps no record of what the homes we have worked on later sold for. The published research that does report recovery percentages does so by region rather than by metro, and nothing we have found breaks out Ada County. What we can say is that a full-property renovation is the scope where over-improvement risk is highest, precisely because the spend is largest: get your neighborhood's price ceiling from an agent before you set a budget, and scope the work to land under it. That conversation is far easier before design than after demolition.
Can I finance a full-property renovation in Boise?
Yes, and the fixed-price scope is what makes it straightforward — lenders fund a defined project, not an idea. Homeowners at this scale generally use a HELOC, a home equity loan, a cash-out refinance, or a construction-to-permanent loan; buyers of fixer-uppers use an FHA 203(k). To be clear about our role: Iron Crest is a remodeling contractor, not a bank or a lender. We do not issue loans, set rates or approve credit, and we publish no rate figures or equity estimates, because rates move weekly and equity is specific to your address. We provide the fixed-price scope and the contractor documentation lenders ask for, and we structure payments in milestones tied to completed work rather than to calendar dates.
What is included in a full-property renovation?
A full-property renovation covers every major system and surface of the home. Interior components include kitchen remodel (cabinets, countertops, backsplash, appliances), bathroom remodels (shower, vanity, tile, fixtures), whole-home flooring, and full interior painting. Exterior components include siding replacement, window upgrades, seamless gutters, and exterior painting. Roofing is not part of an Iron Crest renovation — we do not do roofing. If the roof needs replacement, a roofing contractor handles it first and we sequence siding and gutters behind it. We also do not install doors or reface cabinets. Additional items may include electrical panel upgrades, plumbing updates, HVAC improvements, and insulation upgrades. The specific scope is customized to each home's needs and the homeowner's goals.
